arrnn-oontne :onvion restate,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE NIKoLow, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of'New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apple-Goring Devices; and I do hereby declare the fol lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable other skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for coring apples and consists of a simple and eiiicient device of this nature which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application and in which:

Figure 1 is a central vertical sectional view through the device, and

Fig. 2 is a top plan view.

Reference now being-had to the details of the drawings by letter:

A designates a frame of any suitable construction, and having a cross piece B at the lower end thereof from which a pin lD rises pointed at its upper end E, and upon which point the end of the apple centrally 1s adapted to rest, as shown in the drawings. Supported upon said pin are the hook shaped members F, four of which are provided, and

the upper end of each hook is inwardly bent and pointed and is positioned adjacent to the point slightly below the same and serve,

in cooperation with the point, to support the apple while being cored. The top of the frame is apertured as at H, and I is a tubular coring member having a cutting edge K and an eXit opening L in the side thereof through which the cores pass. A coiled spring It is mounted upon the tubular coring member, and inteposed between the top of the frame and a collar T, and which serves to return the member I to its upper position after being depressed in the act of cutting the core from the apple.

In operation, the apple is placed upon the pin and held by the hand of the opera tor, while the other hand of said operator is free to depress the upper cutter, forcing the same through the apple and cutting the core therefrom. When pressure is relieved punch mounted upon the top of the frame and centrally in alinement with the pin, said punch adapted to be pushed down against the apple, said hooks yielding as the punch is driven through to cut out the core. in testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
